Some thoughts on Muscle Memory!
He who utters the Name of God while walking
gets the merit of a sacrifice at every step. His body becomes a place of pilgrimage. – Sant Tukaram
I am sure that Sant Tukaram had never heard of Golf, but he could have been a patron saint of golf, if he were around St. Andrews when it all began!
It is heartening that while salvation to our game seems to depend on muscle memory, it is amazing that salvation to our souls could be through a game of golf. In fact, it is pretty easy to think of God as you walk through an aesthetically well-designed golf course. But it may be tough to take his name while you slice your drive and the ball rises gracefully high and splashes into water just one yard short of land. There will be many such testing moments when you let yourself go and regret later.
I have been wondering how muscles could have memory; I thought brains (not all!) had a claim for this. I suppose so many experts cannot be wrong. Then if muscles have memory, could they have bad memories? Could there be jealousies between muscles? Understand there are at least 200 muscles that are involved in physical activity. Imagine our state if these muscles only remembered our bad shots or if our Tennis and in my case the Basket Ball muscles, became jealous of our Golf muscles. I am certain that some of these muscles, which are common for all sports, surely play a game other than golf on their own while we are on the course!
If you think I am kidding this is what I saw on the net!
“Oh yeah, we're sure Tiger would endorse this idea; practice, practice, practice, so you can develop a new emotional muscle memory that will hold up in a crisis.” (I know it is somewhere in the WWW)
Anyway, Glad to be back and to Blogging!
